Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 52 The Value of Unicorns

In the tent, the heir of Driftwood Hall, Paulson Stern, refused to disclose any information, so Ed had to ask Jory Cassel, Captain of the Winterfell Guards, to take him down and put him in a cage.

Theon was very puzzled, "Lord Ed, Paulson Stern refused to provide us with information, and even contradicted you in front of you. What's the use of keeping such a hostage? It's better to kill him." "

Ed said: "Don't forget, we also have hostages in the hands of rock species."

Sir Herman Tallhar, the lord of Torren Square, Willis Mandler, the heir of White Harbor, and his younger brother Wendell Mandler were all captured by "Iron Bitch" Helen Pike during the Battle of Seal Bay.

Domeric Bolton on the side said, "Master Ed, do you think the rock species will survive? According to ancient books, the rock species are extremely barbaric, and they even have the habit of cannibalism."

Theon said with a smirk: "Rock species love to eat meat. For them, what could be more delicious than the brothers Willis and Wendell from the White Harbor Mandalay family? Willis and Wendell are like fat sausages .”

Benford Tallhart, the heir of Torren's Square City, was taken aback. His father, Ser Herman Tallhart, was captured together with the Manderly brothers, and his thick neck was flushed. Cannibalism? My father is not in danger, is he?"

Theon mocked: "Your father is too thin for rib soup."

Benford Tawhart and Theon are good friends, but Theon's joke still angered him, and Benford said angrily: "Greyjoy, if something happens to my father, I will blame the Ironborn Heads. It was the bloody Ironborn pirates who took my father!"

Theon was about to retort when Ed said, "Enough! Believe me, Benford, your father will be fine. We'll try to exchange hostages."

Nongda, the rock species guide on the side, kept silent. Ed said, "Nongda, do your rock species really have the habit of cannibalism?"

Nongda stroked his bushy beard, "When I was young, when I was disobedient, my parents would often scare me 'If you are disobedient, let the cannibal tribe catch you and eat you!', in the story, the major clans of the rock species They seem to be cannibals, but Lord Ed, I can tell you that at least in my clan, the Maple Leaf clan does not have this kind of situation."

In other words, it is not necessarily the case for other clans, and some things cannot be delved into.

At that moment Uther, maester of the Dreadfort, entered, followed by two soldiers, who carried the horn of the unicorn.

Bachelor Uther has white hair and a thin physique. He stroked the necklace on his neck, "Master Ed, in this encounter, the warriors in the north killed three unicorns, and we finally got the unicorns. You know, the school city has been arguing about the existence of unicorns, and sending this horn to the school city is a priceless treasure."

Ed smiled, "So this thing has to be sent to Winterfell. This is a trophy from the North, unicorns are a specialty of Skagos Island, and Skagos Island is part of the North, so, I Take this thing back to Winterfell."

Bachelor Uther was a little disappointed, "The Academy cultivates every bachelor, and in return, the bachelors are obliged to provide the Academy with the academically valuable things they encounter. Unicorns are very valuable for research and should be sent to the Academy. "

Ed said indifferently: "If the school wants to buy it in Winterfell, I won't give it away for free."

When the winter shelter town outside Winterfell was expanding, Ed once asked Maester Luwin to send a letter to the Academy City, hoping to get a few more maesters to come to Winterfell, but the Academy City refused to help, and they replied that there were no extra bachelors. Offered to Winterfell.Now that Ed has the precious unicorn horn in his hand, he will not send it to the school city for free.

"Cut up the unicorn's meat and use it as food." Now that the army in the north was facing a shortage of food, Ed would naturally not waste the unicorn's meat. The meat provided by the three behemoths was considerable.

"As for the bones and horns of unicorns, keep them and I will bring them back to Winterfell." Ed believed that the Academy City would spend a lot of money to buy unicorn horns and bones. The Academy City has never been short of money, and their There are patrons all over the Seven Kingdoms, especially the Hightower family in Oldtown, who are simply wealthy.

Thinking of how valuable unicorns are, Ed not only regretted that the northern army failed to kill more unicorns on the battlefield.

Billy Stern fled to Abyss Castle with a dozen unicorns and the rest of the Rock Warriors. In the castle hall, he saw the King of Rock and the Iron Bitch Helen Pike.

Samuro Crowle, King of the Rock, was a strong and massive man, still grizzled at his temples, but a mighty fighter nonetheless.The leader of the Stern clan, Billy Stern, was a thin man with a hooked nose and cold eyes.

In the Rock King's castle, Helen Pike did not wear armor, but changed into a sea green dress, covered with amethysts and sapphires, and Billy Stern found it difficult to look away from Helen Pike. Moving away from that graceful figure, the iron bitch's skirt is dancing, and every step she walks is a temptation.

Billy Stern recounts encounters with the Great North in the wild mountains.

"This is stupid behavior at all!" The Rock King said angrily, "I sent my nephew Donald Claure to the north to inform you to bring the warriors from the north and the unicorn to gather at Abyss Castle. Let you attack the northern army."

Billy Stern said depressedly: "Sister male pirates and Pentos mercenaries plundered and killed innocent people in my territory, and other clans and tribes also suffered. We were all suffocated and saw The enemy, of course, will take the initiative to attack, besides, the casualties of the northern soldiers are also very heavy."

Helen Pike said: "Chief Stern, may I ask how many people are there in the Rock Seed? How many people are there in the Northern Army? One-on-one swaps, Ed Stark is happy to exchange heads with us. This is not how wars are fought."

Billy Stern was furious, "Woman, watch your words, is it my turn to teach me how to fight?"

Helen Pike smiled and said: "I took the ironborn pirates under my command and destroyed the food ships in the northern border. The army in the northern border is short of food and grass. As long as we defend the Abyss Fort, the army in the northern border will run out of food and grass in a month. , the Rockborn and Ironborn can fight back."

Billy Stern said disdainfully: "This is your strategy? Don't you want other sites on Skaggs Island? What if Ed Stark leads an army to attack other places? What if he takes the northern border The army, attacking my driftwood hall?"

Helen Pike shook her head, "You can rest assured that the food and grass in the northern border are not enough to support their attack on Driftwood Hall."
